first loves and skipping classes

 

 

elementary as first grade

the simple smiles you bestowed

taught me love's golden rule

 

without complication

 

and i find myself searching you

in the recesses of my life.

You bring out the heart Jacob... and that says it all.

This strikes me as an innocent infatuation turned meaningful affection. Harvested in the subconscious, who knows how high these thoughts have bloomed in memory? Very simple and sweet. "Easy like Sunday morning," sort of vibe. The golden rule; Loving complication-free. This piece made me reflect on my childhood and that first childhood crush. When we're younger, love is this easy thing that gives foundation for many layers. This was some excellent writing. Caused such nostalgia for me. We all should treasure such memories. Great read.

yes, love was easier, but we didn't understand it enough...or at least i didn't...and have those what if's--
thank you for sharing your insights and experience, Laurie....love that song by the way---Commodores...

it striking how many of the things we learn about love, we learned before junior high. Many of these things learned are simply over calculated. Analytics and love rarely add up, but the sum of a touch is not an imaginary number.

Your poem conveys a tantalizing mix of childhood crush and haunting longing later on in life. If only those later-on meetings held the same intense rapture! *ahhh!* Thanks for transporting me back to a sweet simplicity (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
